She didn’t listen to him and kept crying and wiping tears.Dad finished the tea in the cup in one gulp, put down the cup, and said, “Amelia, I knew I owed you one back then. It was my fault that I couldn’t let you go to college. But I really can’t help with what happened today. Now, I am not one with the final say in our family, but Ailina does. Alina doesn’t let me stay at home. What else can I do?”After saying this, Dad poured himself another cup of tea to cook a big gulp, put down the cup, and said, “If you want to mess around, then go ahead. I am leaving.”He got up and was about to leave.Realizing what was happening, Amelia looked at his back and shouted, “George, don’t go.”He stopped.She looked at me, “Ailina, you don’t have the heart? How dare you kick your father out of home? He is your father, the one who raised you. You had a great education. How can you do such a thing?”I bit my lips and said nothing. She continued, “Are you going to help your cousin today? Are you goi
Ailina’s POV:In the evening, I was typing, sitting in front of my computer. I was writing the final Chapter of my new book as Lewis wanted to see the script. After finishing, I had to rewrite it into a drama, so I had to be quick.Seeing that I was busy, Ricky went to the bathroom and ran a bath. He also added some flowers, petals, and milk to the water. After testing the water temperature, he walked behind me and hugged me, “It’s time to take a bath and rest.”I was still typing.“You have been busy all day. Aren’t you tired? It almost ten o’clock.” He bit my earlobe gently.“I still have some work to do. Go wash off first.” I said casually.He bent over and picked me up from the chair.“Ah!” My fingers were still typing. “Ricky, stop messing around. Please put me down quickly. I am really busy.”“Okay,” he responded. I thought that he would let me go. My eyes were still looking at the computer, but he just carried me to the bathroom.“Ah, you…”Before I finished speaking, he had al
Ailina’s POV:I was listening to what they were talking about, and before I could react, Ricky came out of the kitchen. Alicia and Daisy Board took a step back as if nothing had happened. It was as if they didn’t say anything.My lips twitched. Then, I looked at Ricky and said tactfully, “You worked so hard last night, but now you still got up to make breakfast. You could have taken a rest, worrying about nothing. Now you have to do so much in my house. It’s so hard on you. Why not…”“It doesn’t matter. I could put more effort into my work tonight.” He put his fried egg on my plate. No sooner had I finished speaking than I was interrupted by him.I was completely flushed, and I didn’t know what to do.Daisy and Alicia exchanged glances. Then, they both turned around and entered the kitchen.After breakfast, I planned to focus on writing at home. Charlotte and Alex were keeping an eye on Wilson. Jenny has always been noticing JK’s moves, and there was Gabe for the convoy. I had just be
Cathy’s POV:Hearing Ailina’s words, I tried hard to catch my breath, telling myself not to be so irritable. Ailina had a backer now, a backer more powerful than mine. I told myself not to be impulsive or show my hatred.I looked at Ailina and said softly, “Ailina, it was my fault. I was blinded by temptation. I did a lot of wrong things and said many bad words, but it did not hurt you. Please forgive me, will you?”Ailina looked at me coldly and took a sip of tea without saying anything.My eyes were full of tears. I bit my lower lip and said tremblingly, “For the sake of my mother, please forgive me.”“To be sincere. My mother only has me as a daughter. We are the only ones for each other. I was a little angry with you before because I always wondered what I should do if I lost my mother in that big fire. The fear of losing my mother was killing me, but she never cared about me. She even risked her life to save you and your mother with no hesitation.”I choked with sobs, “I admit th
Gabe’s POV:Bruce talked to me to ask for a leave, saying that he was going to the hospital with Cathy for a pregnancy check-up. I felt a little awkward and said, “Bruce, the competition will start in a few months. And we are practicing cooperation at present. How are we supposed to practice without you? As a substitute player, you have to practice for every position.”He looked troubled and called Cathy, “Cathy, can we do a check-up during my lunch break?”Cathy, on the other hand, said with a grievance. “Bruce, I am three months pregnant. Do you think it is appropriate for me to keep my meal or change my lunchtime? Do you care about my health? Even if you don’t care about me, you should think about your child shouldn’t you?”Bruce didn’t reply. At this time, I patted him on the shoulder. “Just go. We will practice it tomorrow.”Bruce felt a little guilty and said to me, “Captain, I am sorry. I will come back as soon as possible.”“Okay, take good care of Cathy. When a woman is pregn
Ailina’s POV:“Oh, so that’s how it is. In your eyes, they have such a connection?” I nodded and recalled Lucifer and me having cooperated back then. It seemed that it was true.Rather than saying that we had a good connection, it was more accurate to say that Lucifer had always cooperated with me. Every time I had any bold ideas, although I never told anyone else about this, he always knew what I wanted to do and silently cooperated with me.Without Lucifer’s perfect cooperation, I would not have been able to win every battle.But in the end, everyone only remembered QUEEN, they didn’t remember Lucifer. Only when QUEEN appeared did everyone remember Lucifer, but he had no complaints of this neglect.I didn’t expect that Lucifer, who was low-key in the game and had no sense of existence, was the cruel Rican in reality. I thought, ‘You can’t judge a book by its cover,’ the old saying does m
Ailina’s POV:I picked up the phone. It was Gabe. He told me his worries.“Don’t worry. I am also a substitute. From today on, I will train with you!” I said.“Really?” He was a little surprised. ‘If Miss Wilson joined, we would certainly win the championship.’“Yes.” I nodded, “However, it still depends on cooperation. We have to take time to get along well.”He nodded, “Yes right. We will still have three months. It's not too late.”“Do you have time to train today?” I asked.He said, “Yes, all of the time today is intended to be practice coordination…”“I am heading over there right now.”After hanging up, I said to Gloria, “I have something to do now. I will duel with you in the game when I come back tonight.”After saying that I directly turned around and left without wait
Ailina’s POV:Seeing him leave, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.However, when I turned around, I found everyone standing behind me and looking toward the car.“What are you guys looking at?” I asked in shock.“Miss Wilson, should we call you Mrs. Alfonzo from now on?” Bryant asked.“No, you have to call me Boss. I paid for all the expenses in this convey. He did not pay a single cent. How can you address me by his name?” I quickly shook my head, “Our proprieties are separated.”“Miss Wilson, you have to hold on. You can’t get pregnant at least before the competition.” Some people laughed.My face turned slightly red, and I coughed lightly, “It’s time for training.”The members giggled and followed her.This training lasted for an entire afternoon. Everyone in the convey practiced with me once.The members were together a
James’ POV:Anaya smiled and threw her car key to the mall manager.Then, she held me and took the elevator upstairs.Anaya took the initiative to hold me. I was secretly happy. I turned my head and asked, “You have not eaten yet, right? What do you want to eat?”She said, “I am here for a beauty saloon. But if you have not eaten, I can eat with you.”I nodded, “I have not eaten yet. I’ll book a restaurant then.”“Sure.” She immediately nodded.I quickly made a call and booked a more stylish restaurant.We sat down. Just as we were ordering, my phone rang again. It was a call from the manager. “Mr. James, it didn’t work. She doesn’t want money for compensation. She wants to park the car here. What do you think we should do?”I was stunned and puzzled that there was someone who didn’t want money.In my impression only that tom
Jenny’s POV:After a few days of preparation, Ailina was also officially involved.I called her, “Ailina, do you need an assistant? I see other artists bringing assistants. You are the heroine and isn't inappropriate not to be one.”“I don’t want to. It’s too troublesome.” She replied indifferently. “It’s only two or three months. You have to handle the affairs in JK for these two or three months. Thank you.”I pretended to scold her. “It seems that I don’t usually handle those affairs. You are a good absentee leader. Now you even say such a word.”“Never mind. Isn’t this representative of a big boss? I was just saying that to be nice.” Ailina laughed. ‘It feels really good.”“Well, since you don’t need an assistant, you go by yourself. I am short of hands now. Call me if you need anything.” I said.“I se
Lewis’ POV:I was stunned for a moment, “What chance? I haven’t had any new plays recently. I am still in deep trouble with ‘Joy of Life’.”“It’s ‘Joy of Life’ the film version. Director Jane will shoot the film version of ‘Joy of Life.’ I didn’t get the heroine in the previous play, so I want to act as the heroine in the film version. Jane seems to have already decided on the heroine. Could you put a good word for me with Director Jane? You know, I love acting. My acting skills are personally taught by you. This role is really important to me. Director Lewis, please help me.” Anya pleaded with me.I touched my head. “Well, Anya, you have been in the circle for so long. You should know the rules. The directors usually do not interfere with each other when other choose roles.”Hearing this. Anya’s instantly face turned pale.I comforted her, “
Anya’s POV:I looked at myself in the mirror and touched my face. I immediately took out the makeup remover and took my makeup off.Looking at my slightly exhausted face, I was no longer as pure and fresh as I was back then. My eyes were a little dull, and there were a few wrinkles on my face.I suddenly covered my face and cried. “I can’t go back. I am no longer the original Anya.”The two stylish looked at me in a daze. They were both a little confused about why a first-rate celebrity was so unhappy.John said to them, “You guys leave. I want to talk to Anya.”After the stylish left, he held his hand and said, “Anya one wants you to go back to the past. You don’t want to go back to the past, right?”I nodded and replied, “I don’t want to go back. I don’t want to live like that anymore. I don’t want to be bullied again. I don’t want to have a walk on
Anya’s POV:I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. “John, I am sorry. I am just too nervous. I have not worked for half a year; I am just waiting for a ‘Joy of Life.’ My whole year will be wasted if I can’t get the female leading in the film. If an actress doesn’t appear in front of the public for a long time, people will soon forget her. I have been working so hard to become who I am today. I don’t want to give up and I can’t give up.”John also felt sorry for me. He patted me lightly and said, “I know. I know all of this. Anya, we have no choice now. We have failed to take down Ailina. I think you should ask Director Lewis for help. After all, you were once his chief female lead. He will at least give you a face. It is said that he has a good relationship with Director Jane. So go beg Director Lewis to plead for you.”I said through gritted teeth, “Director Lewis is related to Ailina. It was clear when at the scene of ‘Lowering the Bid. Can’t you tell that?”“Then what do you
Greyson’s POV:When Jayden and I walked out of the King’s Hotel, I felt too weak to walk.Just now, inside, Jayden only made a phone call. Then all my clients canceled the order, and the suppliers no longer supplied me with any raw materials.Jayden didn’t let me go bankrupt immediately but killed me slowly.I had no choice but to post a clarification on Twitter. Jayden was satisfied with my behavior.I want to ask Jayden to give back my business, but I know that it is impossible. I had lost a lot. To protect Clara, I might go bankrupt.Now everyone was questioning me who the home wrecker was and why I blackened Ailina on Twitter.I didn’t reply.Jayden gave me a look before leaving, which scared me to death.My wife saw me coming out in a sorry state and stepped forward to support me and asked, “Greyson, what’s wrong?”“Why are you here?” I looked at her.She looked around and said, “A woman asked me to come here. She said that she saw you and Ailina entering the hotel together. So s
Ailana’s POV:I looked up. When I saw Ricky come in, I changed my cold and indifferent attitude and instantly became like a cute little rabbit: “Ricky, you are here.” He bullied me and even said that he liked to bully others with his power.Ricky reached out to pull me into his arm. He rubbed the top of my head and looked at Greyson. His eyes were very indifferent, but there was a slight sense of approval in them. It was just a slight glaze, but it made Greyson feel as if his entire body was frozen. He could not help but shiver and stuttered, “Who is this gentleman?”Jayden, who came with Ricky, introduced, “This is the Chairman of Haytt Group, the current leader of the Alfonzo Estate, Mr. Rican Alfonzo.”This simple introduction frightened Greyson. He felt his leg go soft. He reached out to support the table beside him and barely stood.“Third… Third Master.” He stammered as his voice trembled.Ricky looked at him and asked in a calm voice, “I heard that you raised my fiancée?”There
Greyson’s POV:After receiving Clara’s call, I began to change my clothes and was ready to see Ailina. I had never seen this woman, so it was good to see her.“What are you going for?” My wife was still feeding the child. Seeing that I was going out, she quickly came over and asked.I frowned, “If there is something, why do you care so much? Take care of the children. The child cried again.”After saying that, I already carried my bag and walked out.She threw the bowl in her hand at me and screamed, “Greyson, are you going out to see that woman again? Why are you doing this to me? Why?”The elder daughter was already ten years old. The younger daughter was only three years old. When the two daughters heard the sound of smashing the bowl, they subconsciously cried. I turned back to look at the old woman in the room. Then I looked at the two daughters who could not be my successor. I was even more annoyed.I slammed a door shut and drove to the Kings Hotel.This was the first time I ha
Rican’s POV:After everyone finished eating, Mom pulled Ailina to chat. I went to the study to see Dad. Dad sat in front of the desk, with a cigarette between his fingers.“Since you have quit smoking, don’t smoke anymore.” I walked in and removed the cigarette from his fingers.“Sit down.” He sighed.I sat in front of him.“Rican, don’t let Ailina get into the entertainment circle. Be ready and get married to her. As long as she isn’t in the entertainment circle, our family can arrange any work she wants to do for her.”I asked, “Why?”“The entertainment industry is a dirty circle. If a woman walks in, she will lose herself. One day, she will not be able to find her way back.” Dad said emotionally.I was stunned momentarily, then smiled and shook my head, “No, Ailina knows what she is doing.”“She may know it now, but what about in the future? Everyone has vanity. If she enters that circle, once many people know her and become popular, she will enjoy that feeling. It will be difficul
